Structure of Progress log files

[George Potemkin]

Does anyone know where to find documentation for Progress log files (AppServer, WebSpeed, clientlog etc)? LogRead program has the handlers for 27 log types but these programs mainly read timestamps and message text ignoring other fields in the lines.

I doubt if there is any public documentation of this.

What is LogRead? A quick Google search didn't turn up much, apart from a command in some embedded Linux distros like OpenWrt.

What is LogRead?

"LogRead is a GUI utility to read, query, sort, merge and translate log files from all Progress components (e.g. AdminServer, AppServer, Messenger). It is provided as a diagnostic utility to assist in the analysis of log files."

It does not do exactly what I need. I have already wrote a program that processes the database log files. Next step is to process other logs.
